xpize 5 release 6a

Hi everyone . After I've done xpize 6 lite 0.1 I though I got familiar enough with package structure and xml to try to improve original xpize 5 release 6. The main problem with 5R6 is that the package is very mixed... I mean It's too hard to select exactly needed elements (that's why I've made that xpize lite in the first place). E.g. you try to select only standard icons and bitmaps and you still get logoff screen changed. You unselect winrar patch but still get *.rar file type icons patched. You unselect Windows Branding but still get those banners patched because Darkside Style patch them too... And so on. In some cases you have to remove some files from temp folder to prevent some resources from patching and still patch others in the same file.

There is another problem I can't overcome directly... Anolis Installer doesn't read name attributes from all xml tags except group. That's why there're a lot of dumb entries like Registry and File Type. So I've decided to create corresponding groups just to make things clear.

Well... After 3 days of xml hacking work here comes xpize 5 release 6a . Hope you will enjoy it .

What I want to do next is make black Luna Element logoff screen (as far as I understand there is only blue Luna Element logoff) and fix some button glitches on other logoff screens.
